They overflow your screen with never ending streams of colorful hieroglyphs. They revitalize dead computer languages. Jodi's work is about what lies behind the well known surface of the browser, its about the code. And it is about the dialectics between humans and technology, between controlling and beeing controlled: Jodi lets us experience these things, makes us navigate though irritating systems and become aware of our own blindness. Jodi finds a poignant visual language for these realities of life. A language which comes across not only for computer nerds but also for all of those of us who ever sat down at a computer. Jodi (Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans, Barcelona) were among the first ones, who used the browser as an artistic tool. They succeeded in developing a precise artistic language with digital means and to create some substantial content with it. No one had set an example for them. They were the ones to set standards and provide the reference. With install.exe Jodi sabotages the supposed certainty that their art can only take place on the internet: They present an exhibition in the physical space of [plug in] as well as a print publication. For orthodox approaches to net art this means breaking a taboo. For Jodi it's the consequence of their disturbance-tactic. Install.exe is the first comprehensive solo show of Jodis work, and their first solo print publication. The project is a collaboration of [plug in] Basel and network agent Tilman Baumgärtel from Berlin. As a independent writer he publishes on media- and internet-culture and has set standards on the mediation of netart with his two books net.art Materialien zur Netzkunst, Nürnberg 1999 und net.art.2.0 Neue Materialien zur Netzkunst/new materials on net art, Nürnberg 2001. The print publication is designed by the young Swiss designer Rafael Koch in close collaboration with Jodi. Flipping though the pages, the book will show only Jodi-images at first sight. Inside the fold out image pages the texts are to be found: Contributions in english and german from Annette Schindler and Waling Boers, Tilman Baumgärtel, Frederic Madre, Pit Schulz, Florian Cramer and Josephine Bosma. The book is edited by [plug in], Tilman Baumgärtel and BüroFriedrich and published by Christoph Merian Verlag, Basel. 112 pages, colour illustrations, CHFr. 38.-, Euro 26.- plus shipping. Jodi and Tilman Baumgärtel will be present at the opening of the exhibition.

A dozen artists coded a specific assignment in a language of their choice and were asked to exchange the code with each other for comments. The results of the programming are made visible only after the code--what visitors to this site encounter first is a text document of code from which they can launch the front end of the project. CODeDOC is an endeavor to take a closer look at the process of this particular artistic practice, and to raise questions about the parameters of artistic creation. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 18:21:13 +0800 (WST) From: aniMAL <19210381@student.murdoch.edu.au> Subject: National Brown Nose Day - 7th October National Brown Nose Day - October 7th Happening everywhere In Solidarity with National Pine Gap Convergence October 7-9 www.ozpeace.net we're calling on peacemakers, politicians, activists, artists, actors, acrobats, skaters, jugglers, kids, the unemployed, workers of all kinds, comediens to support and organise locally for NATIONAL BROWN NOSE DAY. This is timely + with some serious last minute madness we can pull off a phat media jam + have heaps of fun. creating spontaneous interactions about Australia's shamefull and continued brown nosing of the US in workplaces, trains, schools, uni's etc etc on the last day of the PINE GAP CONVERGENCE. . . It's as easy as 1,2,3, 4 we don't support the US and it's war(z) {makes me[sic]} 1) get a crew together that love the idea and start brainstorming strategy + let us know what you are planning so we can share ideas, media + stuff 2) start making brown noses and boxes for distribution. we recommend cheap ping pong balls, elastic, passion fruit shells, old fake noses and heaps of brown paint! 3) have a launch this sunday or monday, let us know about it Launch of . . . 22/3 October Theatre, BRown noses + stuff why? because there's blood on our hands and shit on our nose australians are sick of our governments compliance with the US war machine; we are an integral cog, with blood on our hands, and shit on our nose thanx to our constant brown nosing of the US no matter what they do! Here's some things that make us want to scrub up! 1) Our compliance in the ludicrous 'war on terror', the atrocious bombing of Afghanistan, and planned attack on Iraq 2) Pine Gap The US's largest communications and military installation outside the US, right here in the Australian Desert, linking the global web of terror to our surrounding regions. 3) Cockburn Sound Sea-Swap is the WA example of our open port policy to US Warships and submarines. The State and Federal Government are currently lobbying to dredge more of this channel and make it a major refuelling and restaffing base. 4) Missile testing on the coast of Lancelin, just north of Perth 5) US spy base 'Echelon' just out of Geraldton WA 6) Refusal to sign KYOTO Protocol, another brown nose for us. get back to the Pine Gap affinity crew from the west side ollyw@iinet.net.au scottlud@mp.wa.gov.au To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: MAL-globalisation-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com _______________________________________________ Autonomous-brisbane mailing list Autonomous-brisbane@lists.cat.org.au http://lists.cat.org.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/autonomous-brisbane ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 16:50:52 +0200 From: "Gildner, Silvia" <sgildner@bauhaus-dessau.de> Subject: URBAN DRIFT 2002 Falls Sie E-Mails von diesem Verteiler nicht mehr wünschen, senden Sie eine E-Mail unter den Betreff: UNSUBSCRIBE An folgende E-Mail Adresse: gildner@bauhaus-dessau.de Pressinformation deutsch/english URBAN DRIFT 2002 Konferenz, Nightspace, Open Workspaces, 9.-13. Oktober 2002 im Café Moskau, Karl-Marx-Allee 34, Berlin Mitte/ Friedrichshain http://www.urbandrift.org Von Formalismus zu Flux - Mobilität und neue urbane Strategien Der Visionär und Architekt Cedric Price definierte bei dem Symposium 2001, "Urban Drift" als einen Begriff, der sowohl Bewegung als auch Großzügigkeit impliziert. Dieses Jahr, vom 9.-13. Oktober, wird Urban Drift dieser Definition mehr denn je gerecht werden: Die breit angelegte Plattform besteht aus einer zweitägigen Konferenz, dem Nightspace, ausgefeilten Abendveranstaltungen und für die Öffentlichkeit zugängige Ateliers und Büros in ganz Berlin (Open Workspaces). Der diesjährige Hauptveranstaltungsort, das Café Moskau, befindet sich auf der Karl-Marx-Allee in der Nähe des Alexanderplatzes und ist, gerade im Kontext der Rekonstruktion und Neuentwicklung Berlins, eines der bemerkenswertesten Gebäude der Stadt. Das Café Moskau gehört zu den "Sonderbauten" der DDR-Architektur aus den frühen sechziger Jahren. Es schmückt sich mit utopischen Mosaiken und dem Modell eines Sowjet-Sputniks. Das Gebäude liegt auf dem direkten Weg zur deutsch/polnischen Grenze. Über fünf Jahre war das Café Moskau geschlossen und Urban Drift wird nach der Wiedereröffnung eine der ersten Veranstaltungen in diesen Räumen sein. Die Konferenz - Von Formalismus zu Flux - Mobilität und neue urbane Strategien - Freitag 11. und Samstag 12.Oktober 2002 Die Konferenz von Urban Drift ist ein zweitägiges, internationales Symposium, das Teilnehmer unterschiedlicher Disziplinen wie Architektur, Urbanismus, interaktives Design, Kunst und Medienaktivismus in einem Diskurs über Mobilität, Netzwerk-Urbanismus, das "Design der Flüsse" und globale Mobilitätsphänomene für die Bereiche Architektur und Urbanismus zusammenbringt. Urban Drift wird dabei die Repolitisierung des Architekturdiskurses thematisieren. Hauptredner sind Lars Lerup, Dekan der School of Architecture aus Houston, Texas und Irene McAra Mc William, Computer Related Design, Royal College of Arts, London. Themen der Urban Drift Konferenz und Panels: - - Die urbane und politische Dimension drahtloser LAN-Netzwerke (mit Armin Medosch, James Stevens von consume.net, Simone Worthington, Mute Magazin und Shu Lea Cheang, Medienkünstler). - - Die flüchtige Dynamik der Stadt lesen: Wie können Architekten und Urbanisten Inspirationen aus den spontanen, ungeplanten, selbstorganisierten, beschleunigten Prozessen ziehen, mit denen in Großstädten Individuen ihre Räume gestalten? (mit Stefano Boeri, Multiplicities, Mailand, Guido Borelli, Direktor für urbanes Management an der Domus Design Akademie, Mailand, Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss, Normal Group, Belgrad, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Studio bow wow, Tokio). - - Die Mangelwirtschaft und das Potential der Leere: mit Stephen Kovats, Montreal - - Berlin als Grenzstadt ( mit Uwe Rada, die tageszeitung, Berlin) - - Mobilität contra Ort: periphere, verlassene urbane Plätze (u.a. mit Jean Louis Paillard, Périphériques, Paris, L21 Architekten, Leipzig) - - Taktische Mobilität - u.a. Nikes situationistische Branding Marketing Aktivitäten und die Reaktivierung und strategische Nutzung unterberwerteter öffentlicher Räume, mit Knowbotic Research und Medienaktivisten. OPEN WORKSPACES - vom 9.- 13.Oktober in ganz Berlin Für Urban Drift öffnen in ganz Berlin zahlreiche Architekten, Designer und Künstler ihre Arbeitsräume für die Urban Drift-Teilnehmer. In Berlin werden die Besucher, im Vergleich zu anderen Großstädten, mit einer Besonderheit konfrontiert werden: In den meisten Fällen sind die tatsächlichen Arbeitsräume mehr als nur das. Sie sind Ausdruck des eigenen Selbsverständnisses, oft außergewöhnlich großzügig und gleichzeitig Ausstellungsraum, Treffpunkt und Labor für interdisziplinären Austausch und Zusammenarbeit. Mit dem Velotaxi können sich die Urban Drift - Besucher auf eine ausgewählte Open Workspace -Tour durch Berlin begeben.

This year from the 9th to the 13th October 2002, urban drift will be able to do greater justice to its name and will manifest itself as a broad-based platform made up of a two-day conference, a night space - a forum for transformational urbanism - drawing together artists, architects, filmmakers, writers, sound artists and DJs in a mutual exchange - and open workspaces throughout the city. The main location, Café Moskau, on the Karl-Marx-Allee near Alexanderplatz, is in itself a significant building - particularly in the context of Berlin's redevelopment. One of the notable buildings of the early sixties, adorned with utopian mosaics, and a model of the USSR sputnik - donated to the GDR - it has been closed for over two years and by the time urban drift takes place it will be partially renovated and open for events and temporary use. 10 minutes away from Alexanderplatz, Café Moskau stands on the main artery towards the German/Polish border. The conference - From Formalism to Flux - mobility and new urban strategies - October 11th and 12th, 2002 A two-day international symposium drawing together international participants from the disciplines of architecture, urbanism, interactive design, art and media activism, in a mutual discourse on mobility - mobile connectivity, the "design of flows", and global mobility phenomena in urbanism and architecture. Urban drift will reflect the re-politicisation of architectural practice. Keynote speaker is Lars Lerup, Dean, School of Architecture, Houston Texas and Irene McAra Mc William, computer related design, RCA London will discuss mobile connectivity. Panel themes include - the urban and political phenomenon of wireless - LAN - networks, (including Armin Medosch, James Stevens of consume.net, Simon Worthington, Mute Magazine, and Shu lea Cheang, nomadic media artist), accommodating flux and reading the urban dynamic: How can architects and urbanists draw inspiration from rapidly accelerated urban processes: the unplanned, spontaneous and self-organized processes in cities where individuals are designing their own spaces.... (participants include: Stefano Boeri, Multiplicities, Milan, Guido Borelli, Director of Urban Management at the Domus Design Academy, Milan, Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss, Normal Group - Belgrade, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Studio bow wow, Tokyo). Further themes include: the potential of urban voids - Stephen Kovats, Montreal; the "economy of scarcity" - Mangelwirtschaft; Berlin as a border city: Uwe Rada, Die taz, and Mobility versus Place: residual/peripheral urban spaces (with Jean Louis Paillard, Périphériques, Paris, L21 architects, Leipzig), Finally, Tactical Mobility, will include media activists - knowbotic research, analysis of Nike's situationist branding, and a discussion on the reactivation of underused, or undervalued public spaces. OPEN WORKSPACES - from 9th - 13th October, 2002 throughout Berlin. As part of urban drift this year, we will include a number of workspaces in Berlin - architectural practices, designers, and artists. With Open Workspaces we mean spaces which are more than offices and studios, rather they are hybrid spaces, incorporating exhibition spaces, laboratories for interdisciplinary exchange and collaborations, and meeting points for mutual exchange on the urban drift themes. These hybrid spaces are a phenomenon very specific to Berlin. - - A map - provided by velotaxi - will allow for an urban drift between these different locations between the 9th and the 13th October. amongst the participants of the open workspaces are lessrain, Hoyer and Schindele architects, filesharing, Raumlabor, die Alex psd (artists and activists bringing current public space issues to the forefront through interventions and actions on Alexanderplatz), Platoon ( a group of designers who will place 2 shipping containers in Mitte, and will offer WLAN access, and provide a temporary media lab for berlin's 'sub-cultural' scene), e27, Pfadfinderei, Standard Rad, and Latif Oberholz. THE NIGHTSPACE+ October 10th/11th and 12th - at Café Moskau, Karl-Marx-Allee 34 and workspaces throughout Berlin A forum for transformational urbanism: "The inexhaustible inventory of the streets" The night space will bring together talks, presentations and visuals, video screenings, readings, and Dj's in the spirit of the situationist derive. The participants are actively engaged in affecting, transforming, intervening, in the urban landscape. Themes include: urban nomadism and mobile urban strategies, urban curating. PARTICIPANTS INCLUDE: Leo Villareal - on the portable temporary architecture of the burning man festival/Heath Bunting, on borderXing - a net art project and a radical dérive throughout Europe, supported by the tate modern / Rafael Horzon will present BELFAS, modern facades for minimalistic urban regeneration /Wilfried Houjebeck, on psychogeographies and the urban dérive with algortithms (www.socialfiction.org) / Jose Perez de Llama, on "Zapatista urbanism" / Cite des Ondes from Canada, will screen video work from their recent festival / Actar publishers will present their new issue of Verb (on connection) / A.non.mag, from Dublin, will present their anonymous architecture magazine, for distribution in the shopping malls and the petrol stations of the suburbs, to garner interest in new architecture and design for suburbia / Steffan Saffner presents mobile porch, a foldable, rollable architecture for interventions and interactions in public spaces / There will be discussions on the history and the fate of the café moskau, left empty for the past 3 years / Turbo space - the uncontrolled urban processes of Belgrade, will be presented in a complex interface - Datacloud by the Stealth Group / flora&fauna visions / Supported by: From september 28, 2002 to january 2003 Vitra Design Museum Berlin shows the exhibition "Living in Motion - Design and Architecture for Flexible Dwelling" in Vitra Design Museum Berlin, Kopenhagener Str. 58, 10437 Berlin / Prenzlauer Berg, T: 0049.30.47 37 770, http://www.design-museum-berlin.de.

Experimentelle Kunst aus Litauen - -------- Original Message -------- From: nerius grigas <nergrigas@gmx.de> EINLADUNG OFF-BEATS experimentelle Kunst aus Litauen Literatur, Theater, Musik und Kunst Berlin, 24. bis 28. September 2002 Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Das OFF-BEATS Büro und das ACUD präsentieren in Kooperation mit dem MitOst e.V. Highlights experimenteller Kunst aus Litauen -- fern von Bernsteinkitsch, singender Revolution und wodkaseliger Verklärung. Litauen ist Gastland der diesjährigen Frankfurter Buchmesse. Die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit, die der baltischen Republik in diesem Zusammenhang zuteil wird, eröffnet auch der Off-Kultur die Chance, bei uns gehört und gesehen zu werden. Neugier und Lust am Experiment treffen auf leere Kassen im Etat des Transformationslandes. Künstler werden unter diesen Bedingungen, ob sie wollen oder nicht, zu Grenzgängern und Grenzüberschreitern. Heimatverbundene Nomaden, die Raum- und Genreschranken hinter sich lassen. Deren Kunst transnational, aber unverkennbar auf litauischem Boden geerdet ist: katholisch-dörfliche Traditionen und Nachwende-Erfahrungen mischen sich mit multinationalen Identitäten und Reminiszenzen an die Sowjetkultur. Das OFF-BEATS Büro freut sich, Ihnen erstmalig litauische Autoren, Musiker, Theaterleute und Künstler aus Vilnius, Klaipeda und Berlin vorstellen zu können. Wir möchten Sie herzlich zu einer Exkursion durch den litauischen Kultur-Wildwuchs einladen.

The Transmedia postgraduate program in arts, media & design is a two-year, full-time course and leads to a postgraduate diploma in Transmedia studies. During the first INPUT year, you hone your production skills in the Transmedia lab, learn directly from visiting artists, engage with the history and theory of transmedia art in seminars, attend public events and devote time to your own work. This input confronts and fuels you with different ways of working and thinking in order to develop your ideas and methods further. We do not want you to switch discipline and start from scratch. The program is not designed to turn web designers into filmmakers or conceptual artists into graphic designers. Instead, we set up an interdisciplinary research environment from which you can learn and deepen your own practice. You will be challenged to rethink your process, develop new approaches and redefine your work. At the end of the year, you will submit a portfolio as well as a research dossier that outlines your individual graduation project. Since there are no exams at Transmedia, your admission to the second year hinges mainly on the review of this dossier. During the second OUTPUT year, you devote most, if not all of your time to your individual graduation project that consists of a substantiated art work, i.e. a work supported by a contextual statement and defense. This argumentation can take on different forms (a written essay, a live presentation, a web site, a slide show, a video tape,=8A) and is meant to contextualize your project. At this stage in the program, a tutor of your choice helps you further refine your skills and ideas through discussions, readings, research, and small projects. Visiting artists comment on your work-in-progress and public events continue to inspire you as you pursue th= e intensive, final transmedia project of your own design. Transmedia offers you a stimulating environment where you have access to state-of-the-art facilities. The aim of our program is to encourage you in producing art-work that involves the computer either as a working tool (editing, designing, programming) or as a presentation model (multimedia installation, web site, CD-ROM). Still, we emphasize the user's creativity rather than the machine. You are challenged to engage computer-mediated interactivity as broadly as possible, that is, using different and alternative forms of narration, installation and interface to foster innovative forms of communication and expression through transmedia art-work. We believe that people of different backgrounds and experiences are central to this collaborative, multi-disciplinary practice. Therefore, we welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds: from graphic design, visual arts, architecture, and performance to photography, film, video, installation, and new media, but also from the humanities, sciences, music composition, dance, and industrial design. What sets the Transmedia program apart from university-based and regular ar= t school training programs is its exceptional focus on research and its integrated mix of art practice and critical thought. This enables you to emphasize not only technical knowledge, but also the conceptual understanding and insights you will need to produce thoughtful, engaging, and professional art-work. You work closely with internationally recognized teachers and visiting artists who are actively shaping the direction of thinking and practice in the rapidly evolving transmedia field through thei= r own work. Things you should know: - - Transmedia is housed in Brussels, Belgium at the Hogeschool Sint-Lukas Brussels near the center of the city. - - The working language of this international program is English, so proficiency in that language, both spoken and written, is required. - - The Transmedia program (1st and 2nd year) starts on November 4, 2002 and ends on June 30, 2003. - - The final deadline for applications for the 1st year is October 1, 2002. The number of new admissions for the 2002-2003 academic year is limited to 15.
